Creation and conception

The character was created by Stephanie Greenwood for issue #3. Vega Bond’s name is a parody of James Bond[1]; rather the cadence of how Vega introduces himself. The character evolved to be a foil for all the heroes in Rose City.

Influences
Vega Bond secretive identity is somewhat inspired by the Inspector Gadget character, Dr. Claw.[2] However, Bond is more clever and nefarious than the cartoon character. His personality is closer to the James Bond character, Ernst Blofeld.[3]
